| David Greenspan |
| Full given name: | David Samuel Greenspan |
| Hometown: | I was born and raised in Los Angeles. New York is my home. |
| Zodiac sign: | I don't believe in astrology. |
| Audition song: | I'm baffled at auditions when asked what I'm going to sing. They can't wait two seconds to find out? |
| First Broadway show ever saw: | The television production of Peter Pan with Mary Martin. My father recorded it for me on his reel-to-reel tape recorder. I so loved it and knew every word. |
| If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? | There are too many; we have such a rich theatrical history. |
| MAC or PC? | I don't like to advertise. |
| Last book you read: | I'm currently re-reading "The Brothers Karamazov." It's very good. |
| Most played song on your iPod: | I don't own an iPod. People listen to too much music; they don't pay attention to what's going on around them. Their minds will turn to Jell-O. |
| Performer you would drop everything to go see: | Thespis |
| First stage kiss: | I've never been kissed on stage. |
| How you got your Equity card: | By casting myself in a play I directed. |
| Worst onstage mishap: | Two dogs once chased each other onstage during a performance of a melodrama in a stock theatre. The audience enjoyed it. |
| Who have you played on "Law & Order"? Which edition? | I don't remember his name. I spoke four words. |
| Pets' names: | I don't have pets at this time. |
| Favorite junk food: | I don't eat junk food; it's not good for you. |
| Who would play you in the movie? | No one would ever make a movie about me. |
| Worst job you ever had: | I once taught acting to seven-year-olds at a community center in the Bronx. When a girl was asked to play Grandma instead of Little Red Riding Hood, she threw herself on the floor and started screaming. |
| TV or commercial gig you most enjoyed: | I've done only one commercial- back in 1999. I still receive money. |
| Who, of those you've worked with, would be in your Royal Family? | I can't think of anybody I've worked with that I haven't enjoyed in one way or another. I guess everybody. |
